Have you even looked inside the bucket to see if it's fermenting?

Back in the old BJCP test format, one of the popular essay questions was to list and explain 5 reasons why we boil wort - Yooper did a pretty great job getting to the nitty gritty. Proteins have nothing to do with starches converting to sugars and neither does the boil.

If you don't rehydrate, you're killing off about half the yeast.

Agree with signpost. Planning liquid yeast a day before on 10 gallons isn't the smartest idea unless you're willing to shell out the cash for multiple packs.

You should put the container lower than the demijohn. A temperature shift witha decrease in the fermentation pressure or something could cause the blow-off liquid to siphon back into the carboy. As for me, I haven't used a blow-off in about 6 years. I use Fermcap in my boil and it seems to...

Lol. All that stuff can be done at the homebrew level. Take a look at scottland's blog here: bertusbrewery.com. He's consistently nailing the IIPA style using most of the techniques you just mentioned. Sure it's one example, but I stand by my assessment that 12 oz is not excessive and you don't...

First, we don't know what recipe he brewed. Second, we're talking about an IIPA, not just a run-of-the-mill beer. Pliny, Enjoy By, Heady, etc are all in excess of 12 oz hops at the 5 gallon volume.

Not really.

Yeah, I got the proctor's sheets a day after my exam.

Care to elaborate why?

I took the exam at the beginning of June and just got my score back last week.

I just brought kegs of a Bitter, English IPA, and DIPA to a beer event and the EIPA went first. It was 12 days old. As Yooper says, ferment good beer and there's no need let it age.

1 bbl = 31 gallons. 4 lbs hops = 64 oz 64/31 = 2.06 oz/gallon * 5 gallons = 10.32 oz or 292.57 g Substantially more than the recipe found here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/can-you-brew-recipe-firestone-walker-union-jack-188929/

Who walks around with $380 in cash anymore?

WLP002 is likely going to be the most flocculent yeast you've ever used. It'll also look like cottage cheese in the starter. Don't fear any of these things. Also be prepared to have your ferment done in about 48 hours.

But there's a fundamental difference in the way you stated your opinions. You were wrong, but you stated it in a well-worded, and friendly fashion. While Revvy was wrong, he used his trademark ramble on paragraph diatribes with incessant capitalization demeaning the OP. If he's...

TyTanium and adriedel, I have your grain. I can be free Saturday morning-ish. No skate lessons again, but I can meet y'all somewhere. Going out of town that afternoon, though.

K, on my way in about 15. I'm picking up for adriedel as well.

I will be there tonight. What time will you be there until?
